so kerry knows romney's politics. and the reason, of course, that the obama campaign is working so hard to tamp down expectations, norah and charlie, is that they like the trajectory of the race right now. they don't want to do anything to change it. >> no doubt. thank you. both sides are trying to lower expectations for the debate because any misstep has the potential to derail a campaign. both candidates have both good and bad moments from their debate history. >> john, you're absolutely right that presidents have to be prudent in what they say, but coming from you, in the past, have threatened extinction for north korea and sang songs about bombing iran. i don't know how credible that is. >> he's very likable. i agree with that. i don't think i'm that bad. >> you're likable enough, hillary.

what does romney do now? we see this morning he has a new ad where he is speaking to the camera for 60 seconds, but is it too late? >> the reason that 47% is working is because it's new information. we don't want to hear the same thing over and over again. voters pay attention to it. >> look at this ad. for the first time romney is speaking directly to the people, is that too late? >> in a simple answer, yes. that should have been done three or four months ago. he solidified his control back in april. why is this ad only running now? when we look back at this campaign, i think we will realize you can't have the same impact as you did then. >> so did they not use that advantage? >> you can use it up to a point, and the fact is if you look at the numbers up to the republican convention, mitt romney was only a couple points behind in ohio. nationwide, it was 1%. this whole thing developed over the last three weeks, you have to give the democrats credit, they're on message particularly from the democratic convent

in romney's sessions president obama will be played by ohio senator rob portman who was on romney's short list for vice president. on stage with the president will be massachusetts senator john kerry who will play romney. kerry and romney knew each other well when romney was governor of massachusetts both campaigns are desperately trying to lower expectations. in a memo leaked to the press a top romney adviser called the president one of the most talented political communicators in modern history and noted the president has engaged in eighty-one-on-one presidential debates while this is romney's first. the obama campaign is also down playing expectations. they say he hasn't had enough time to prepare for the debate because he's been so busy as president dealing with a series of crises in the middle east. >> chip reid in boston. thanks. >>> for more on campaign 2012, we turn to jonathan allen, a senior political correspondent from politico. jonathan, good morning to you. >> good morning, rebecca. >> i want to begin where chip left off. the president's advisors say he's been so busy dealing
